They now have right of way if they are indicating as they pull out. Came in a couple of years ago.

i know they have but they usually indicate as they pull out, very dangerously too.

right of way is not something you take, its something you give

although the law states you must hold back to let a bus out, it unfortunately doesnt stop the inconsiderate f***ers pull out in front of you when it clearly isnt safe for them to do so. i say "them" but i suppose its the car thats gonna suffer!

Wait at the bus stop, flag him down, but don't get on & do this for a number of times. That'll get right up his chuff :y

So is that actually law?  I was under the impression it was part of the highway code, which isn't necessarily 'law' as some of it was there as 'guidelines'.
